It&#39;s just taking an immense amount of time. I highly underestimated how big of a project it was, but I think it will be worth the time spent in the end.

Our bedroom needs wall decor, the theater could use some dividers and I&#39;d love to get matching L-shaped desks for the office, but that comes with time. I just want thing to feel like home, and they finally do!

I know how you feel about nesting and wanting to get everything &quot;liveable&quot; as soon as possible--not perfect, but fully functioning. That&#39;s an important aspect of new spaces for me as well. Glad to hear from you and I look forward to pictures from the housewarming party (when you get time to breathe :) )Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16850833262363051091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6703743150230061689.post-86199304515239380412015-11-29T08:43:24.223-06:002015-11-29T08:43:24.223-06:00I always like to read when someone is finding a go...I always like to read when someone is finding a good deal and you sure did that :D !

Those three ivory accent chairs went into our front room - and matched perfectly with the couch we already have. The two chairs we bought for the reading room are perfect for each of us, and the rug has a very similar pattern to mine with the colors of both of our chairs, so it really brings the room together. I am rushing it because I do want this place to feel like home, but I&#39;m methodically rushing it and refuse to pick up anything that doesn&#39;t match our style and budget. Some of it is a larger space issue, some of it is that things we previously owned got damaged in the move (ie both of our nightstands fell apart, one of my wood-based lamps got a HUGE chunk taken out of it, etc), and some of it is that our style is growing up a bit. So I&#39;ve definitely had fun with it. I really want to just settle in by December 5th and enjoy the space for a few years. I&#39;m sure I&#39;ll replace a few items here and there but, for a while, the house will be done. They call me the Thrift Store Queen. I&#39;ve got this. :)Mariettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10745717838615607275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6703743150230061689.post-32887076750853403422015-11-28T10:38:12.912-06:002015-11-28T10:38:12.912-06:00I understand that feeling well.

We&#39;re renters, so while we have a bit more of an elongated guarantee (or maybe not, given our history), no place we&#39;re renting is truly ours. I think about it every time I put a new nail in the wall to hang something or put a scuff on a corner or so on and so forth. I can&#39;t wait to buy, but that&#39;s a ways off. Until then, I&#39;m hoping this place is as close to mine as I can get. Hang in there! Military life is hard but it eventually stabilizes. You&#39;ll get there.Mariettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10745717838615607275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6703743150230061689.post-29586634235594553092015-11-28T07:51:35.494-06:002015-11-28T07:51:35.494-06:00Oh the joys of a large space.

I have to stop myself because in the rush to make things feel put together, I end up with things I don&#39;t really love. And when you are short on cash luck us, and apparently you, it makes you feel guilty later. Spend time putting things together and do it slowly. Invest in things you love and you&#39;ll be a lot happier. Our new home may be in shambles and mostly empty, but what we do have, I wouldn&#39;t part with for a very long time.Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15833903403803495986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6703743150230061689.post-68314209896201414362015-11-27T13:34:25.461-06:002015-11-27T13:34:25.461-06:00I feel the pain of moving once a year (hubs was mi...I feel the pain of moving once a year (hubs was military and will move for school in another year) but not eight years in a row. I can&#39;t even imagine. I&#39;m dying to put down my own roots and call a place home. Each time we move I know that it&#39;s not long term and that puts a damper on it feeling like home.Leah Chiassonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16680156562991878194noreply@blogger.com
